You resized the filesystem but you didn't resize the partition the filesystem was on. You need to do both if this is going to work successfully. What has happened is that the partition table was not updated and now it has values in it that don't make sense for your newly smaller disk.

Absolutely right. I completely forgot about that tiny detail. In the interim I've nuked my whole disk so I'll recreate the system and try again in the interest of academics.

Thanks for the heads up!
